Walked in and didnt rralize we couldn't seat ourselves. Chose a table and started walking over until I heard someone say "excuse me" pretty rudely and loudly and gave us a stare that could cut through rock. He led us to a table and sat us down for two adults. My stroller is blocking the walkway pretty much. Im taken aback at how he jiat stared at us from once we walked in until we decided on a seat and started walking before he even attempted to say anything, like, yellow, welcome in"?! Anyways, something smelled like it was rotting. It was pretty unwelcoming to eat with that stench in the air. No one came by to ask us how we were or if we needed anything else. Not the best customer service. Food was decent enough i slaw but the sauces you add on her washed away with the amount of water they use to cook your mixing in. It was a hot day and it felt even hotter inside the place so I was surprised thwy gave a pitxhwr of water with no ice. It was luke warm water! Overall glad i tried the place but would not come back. read more

LOVE this place and had a craving! Eat all you want, WHAT you want. I chose the chicken with noodles and tons of fresh veggies. The sauces I chose for cooking were Garlic, House Soy, Oil, and Terriyaki. Finished it off with toasted sesame seeds. We ate outside, and the weather was lovely. Delish! If they could offer better water, instead of from the tap, that would be up to 5 stars. The water is not good. read more

Always walked past and was intrigued, not really seeing too many Mongolian BBQ places in the Bay. I was quite disappointed. The meat quality is not that great - worse than typical AYCE places. The vegetable selection also was a bit limited as well. Overall did not feel too hygienic. The indoor seating felt a bit stuffy, probably due to the wok, so most people sat outside. I feel it's a bit of a shame - they definitely could get more customers by really highlighting the wok, or making it a bit more of a spectacle - it didn't feel that the chef really enjoyed the job. read more

It's been a very long time since I have last eaten here. So I came back to eat here for lunch. The prices sure has gone higher. Way too high for even lunch. Of course the food is good and you can stack how high as you want and then see your food getting cooked. Service isn't the best. It was not packed at all which isn't a surprise since there's plenty of other restaurants up and down Castro including one right next door. It will be a while before I come back. Will try others. read more

Loved this place! My brother was visiting for the holidays and always was a big fan of Mongolian Bbq style. Did some searching and found this place, and this place did not disappoint! The restaurant layout was perfect and accommodated my huge family comfortably. There is no limit on the buffet other than 2 bowls at a time and no take out for left overs. They have all the good topping options! Lots of great fresh veggies, tofu, noodles, and then the meats are thinly sliced and frozen which is typical for mongolian bbq. Lots of great sauce options! Also included is fresh steam rice and soft served ice cream. For adults it's $23.99 and kids $11.99, which is not bad at all especially if you can eat more than one plate. Service was on top of everything, kept filling up our water pitchers and picking up empty plates. Seen them cleaning and refilling the buffet often. Highly recommend coming here, such a fun and delicious experience. read more

My bf and his friends have been coming here for years and we were able to eat here after my LASIK follow up appointment. I used to go to a spot in Concord for Mongolian bbq so I was pretty excited to try this place out for the first time. We both got two plates of food for only $19.99 a person! The ice cream was also pretty good and came with the price of our meal. If we had more room, we probably would have eaten another one. read more

I liked the available options to select from. Too bad they didn't offer rice noodles though. There were a good selection of meats, veggies, and sauces. They provide you with recipes of which sauces to mix of you aren't sure. It's fun to make your own choices and watch them cook your food. You can eat as much as you want so my brother and I went back two or three times. I was happy to eat lots of protein. Plus there's soft serve ice cream for dessert. The place was half full at about 6:15pm on a Thursday night. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening. Everyone left very full. read more

Pretty generic food. They have frozen slices of beef, pork, lamb and chicken. Beef was tough. Pork and lamb decent. And no way I'm trying raw sliced chicken even if frozen. They have a variety of veggies and hard tofu. You take what you want, buffet style, add a large amount of sauces and oils, and give it to the man at the large Mongolian bbq grill who then cooks it for you. It's AYCE. Problem is that outside of the exoticism of seeing the man cook your food, there's nothing special. Food is not great and the price is high at $27 (dinner). Then they have audacity of asking for a tip starting at 18% and going up to 35%!!!! This for a place where they don't take your order and you go get your own food. I tipped 10%. Everyone gets the same thing. However, do tip the man at the grill generously because that looks like a hard job. Not returning. read more

had no idea what we were walking into - were simply strolling the strip after striking out at a nearby restaurant (holiday prix fixe menu). this place is all you can eat, but DIY and cooked right in front of you. 4 people, $113 before tip. read more

We had a lot of family in town for the holidays and wanted to try a different Mongolian place. We walked in with a party of 17 and the staff was quick to accommodate and stayed on top of clearing our table, etc. The items were refilled often so everything was available and our line moved along even though there was only one person on the grill. Everyone was happy with the food and the service. Also a plus that it is located across from a Paris Baguette for more dessert. read more

It's all you can eat. Friday night dinner, $21.99 a person. They have meat: chicken, lamb, pork, & beef, and vegetables: chestnuts, tofu, broccoli, bean sprouts, green peppers, onions and a few more to choose from. I would put meat in one bowl and vegetables in the other so you know what you have. The noodles are at the end. Then there's ladles of sauce to choose from. You bring up your raw food and the guy at the end puts it on a big round grill and cooks it up for you. My son complains he puts all the sauces on and the cook waters it all down when he pours his pitcher of water over it while cooking because the sauces are already watered down and the flavor isn't strong enough. There is a pot of rice and egg rolls too, if you prefer rice instead of noodles. I think it's okay occasionally but my family really likes Mongolian bbq. read more

So glad to have found an ayce Mongolian bbq spot close by. Back in college, we had a Mongolian grill and it was one of my favorite options when everything else didn't quite fit my taste buds. There's a variety of meats and veggies to choose from along with amazing sauces and spices to flavor up your noods. They also have a soft serve machine to definitely save some space Staff is very friendly and the chef is quick so you'll have a hot bowl of noodles ready in no time. It's a very spacious restaurant so plenty of spots to chose from read more

This place is awesome! Had lunch here with a friend from high school. What a great time! The service was wonderful always a full pitcher of water and always attentive! The ambiance was very nice to have a conversation with! Not too quiet and not too loud, just perfect! The food was outstanding! Where else can you go and stuff yourself with fresh grilled food and delicious spring rolls. Plus yummy ice cream! All you can eat! Wonderful place!! I'll be back again and again! read more

I've been coming here since high school--over 18 years now. I don't usually leave reviews, but seeing the recent ratings made me want to share my love for this place. New Mongolian BBQ has stayed standing while so many other restaurants in Downtown Mountain View have come and gone, and there's a reason for that: it's *that* good. It's truly a local staple for anyone who's lived here long enough. The people who work here have been around for years, and the service has always been consistent. The food quality has never dipped--it's reliably delicious every single time. And yes, nothing about it has changed since I first started coming. No new features, no new menu additions. But honestly? That's part of what I appreciate most. Not everything needs to be reinvented. Sometimes consistency is the best thing a place can offer, and they deliver on that every time. read more

Tried out this AYCE mongolian bbq place for Friday dinner and had some nice seating outdoors. It's fully shaded with a light breeze, and some guy playing piano (probably only on Friday evenings) making for a nice ambiance. Food is all picked yourself using one or two bowls and then mixed and cooked by their chef on the stove. You can go back all you want, and they have an ice cream machine with cones for dessert. Most of the food was decent, a couple ingredients were questionable on their quality/freshness like the pineapple. Ice cream was a bit more like donut cream tasting, but all the food was still acceptable. Service was very fast and friendly. read more

The food is amazing!!! Well, you can get one or two bowls. For me, I got two bowls. One for the meat and one for the noodles since the noodles would be hard to fit with the meat. There is a recommendation for the sauce for your meat but I prefer to do it yourself and it will taste amazing!!! If you like corn, I low-key do not get it with your Mongolian BBQ because once it is cooked it is super hard to bite. The service is okay. The chef cooking your meal is super nice and will get your food as quickly as possible which is a plus. However, I was annoyed that the cashier gave us only two napkins when there is three of us. To me, it sounds like he was very stingy with giving napkins. Like why are you only giving us a few napkins? This is worth trying if you want some AYCE Mongolian BBQ read more

New Mongolian BBQ - AYCE Mongolian BBQ - Mongolian Near Me - Mountain View, California

One of the most affordable AYCE options in the Bay Area! Had a great dine-in experience here for a Sunday dinner- the staff were super friendly and let us cook multiple bowls of ingredients since we came in near closing so we could keep eating past closing time. Solid selection of protein (beef, chicken, pork, lamb, tofu) and vegetables. The chef was so efficient and cooked the meat perfectly. Pretty casual dining environment, and other than the cooked ingredient bowls, there are eggrolls, rice, and vanilla ice cream available for AYCE as well. Amazing value, definitely will be back! read more

My husband and a few friend of mine came here yesterday. My husband and friend got food poisoning! The chicken was cooked way to fast with the beef. The rest of us who didn't get chicken, didn't get sick, but the ones who did, did. The location is nice but not worth the food poisoning or the cross contamination. read more

Went here with some Russians. Had a blast. Feels like it could be seen as glorified Panda Express chowmein, but I like to support smaller businesses and I would be so sad if it closed. Chill af and all around a great place to have an out of pocket convo about personal matters really audibly. Obliterated the food and the spring rolls the complementary soft serve. Belly stretched meal to say the least. I wish it were not $24 but maybe it is best to go at lunch time rather than dinner because it is cheaper then. Meat and seasoning was blessed. read more

Tried this place for the first time. It's not that different from other Mongolian bbq places I've been to in the past but it was pretty tasty and I liked the selection of veggies. The egg rolls were very greasy and only had a small piece of cabbage; mostly just oily wrapper. My family complained about there not being shrimp, which is one thing that this place lacked compared to others. They offered soft serve ice cream which I really enjoyed. Service was pretty quick at clearing plates each time as well. read more

The customer service by the guy who cooks the food was unacceptable. He was rude to me and my husband while we were waiting for our food. And when I asked him to add teriyaki sauce onto my food so it's all mixed in, he said no I could do it after. I've been to Mongolian bbq places in the mall and in Mountain View and everyone was accommodating and understanding of this request. The food was just ok. Not worth it for the price. I added 4 times the sauce amount and it didn't give a flavor other than bland noodles and since the cook wouldn't add the teriyaki sauce like I requested, it was even more bland. The chicken had a lot of bones in it. I stopped eating it cause it was every bite towards the end. If you charge 16.99 a bowl for lunch and 18.99 a bowl for dinner then the least I expect is some kindness and good customer service. I don't recommend and won't be back. There is a good place in Mountain View, check it out. read more

Wow it's been so long since I've had Mongolian BBQ. We came after a hike for an early dinner on Sunday. The hostess/waitress was the sweetest older lady. Maybe the owner? She was so attentive and kind. And told us hiw it all works. Anx reminded us to get our egg rolls and ice cream! Also egg drop soup is also available from the back! There was a good selection of meats, veggies and sauces. It wasnt too busy when we were in so everything moved pretty fast. I just wish i had more space to eat more! read more

For AYCE, this is a good place for adults to customize your noodles/chow mien. There's a good amount/variety of meats (pork, chicken, lamb & beef) and veggies (canned pineapple, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, mushrooms, radish, onions, cilantro, broccoli, noodles). The staff constantly checks to refill the stations. The cooks/chef tries his best to quickly cook your meal. There's pot of rice,self serve, which if you want to eat your meal with meats & veggies without noodles... can't include the rice on the grill prob bc it might get stuck on the grill. There's veggie egg rolls but not much filling inside. Fairly large place inside and outdoor seating so you'll get seated quickly. Bonus soft serve!! Dinner for 2 adults ($21/per) and 2 kids ($15/per) came out to $80 with tax. It's a bit pricey for kids since they didn't eat that much but for adults is a good price. read more

It's been a while since I've eaten here. Really love the sauces that they have to go with the meats and veggies. They do keep the food counters clean. One of my favorite Mongolian BBQ places. Also love their spring rolls. My family lives their soft serve ice cream. They always try to compete to see who can make the tallest swirls!! read more

Service and staff was great. The meat is low quality and very fatty. I loaded a bowl full of sauces and my dish had no taste. Its like tgey dilute their sauces. The smell of the meat was so awful after they cooked it that I could not eat it. I poured half a bottle of soy sauce and that didn't so justice either. NEVER coming back. read more

I passed New Mongolian BBQ while attending Taste of Mountain View. The owners are very friendly and sweet. I conversed in chinese with the female staff and she was super friendly! The spot is AYCE with as many trips as you want. They have beef, lamb, chicken, and pork as well as some veggies and the sauce bar. There's also fried vegetable egg rolls and rice that's self serve. Also, there's soft serve! Not visible anywhere is the sesame pocket bread (shaobing) upon request. The chefs are really friendly as well. Overall, good spot. Dinner is $18.99 per person. read more

All you can eat Mongolian food with free ice cream - doesn't sound too bad! When I walked in here I was nostalgic over the Mongolian grills you see in the malls but I'm glad they have one in Mountain View. It's just as you'd expect, a bunch of meats and veggies, and sauces to choose from that go directly on the grill. They also serve egg rolls (slightly oily), rice, and of course ice cream. Pretty standard place but $20 to dine in on the weekend per person feels pricey. I'd come here for takeout and share! read more

Came here with some coworkers on a Thursday for lunch. It was my first time here. We were seated immediately. It's all you can eat self serve. The only con is at lunch rush the line gets a bit long since there's only one person cooking your food. I'd recommend coming here if your lunch time isn't time restricted, otherwise you'll end up rushing. You're allowed 2 bowls for them to cook at a time, but the bowls are pretty small. My 2 bowls ended up being full of meat and veggies, so by the time i got to the noodles I didn't have much space left in my bowls. There's lots of veggie options and 3-4 meat options. There's also some eggrolls to snack on, and an ice cream machine with cones for dessert. Pricing per person with tip ended up being about $20. Unfortunately, since it's all you can eat there's no to go boxes allowed even if you don't finish your food which I found a bit wasteful for some members in my party. read more

Mongolian BBQ used to be a rare treat that only happened when I by chance stumbled upon a restaurant while traveling. I am beyond lucky have one in walking distance. Recently, I've been eating vegetarian and this restaurant meets all my needs! Their takeout is also such a good deal and adds so much flavor and variety to my diet. Highly recommend! read more

I like to go there frequently. Veggies and meat, piled high with lots of sauce. It's all about the sauce, can't skimp on it. They have 6 or so to choose from. The ambiance is good, nothing super fancy but it's comfortable, if a bit loud when it's busy. The service is good, mostly because not much is required since you mostly serve yourself. The to-go option is also great option. My stepdaughter says: FAV RESTAURANT‼‼‼ read more

came here on a weekend around 1130 am and was one of the first groups at the restaurant. the price is $18 for AYCE noodles stir fried with meat, veggies, and sauce of your choosing. you grab a bowl and load up with whatever toppings you like. they have beef, lamb, chicken, and tofu for protein (no lamb available the day I went) and plenty of vegetables like cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and more. and of course, you add your noodles in the end. there is rice and egg rolls available for sides as well. they give a couple suggests for sauce combinations as well before you hand your bowl over to be stir fried on the grill. even though it's unlimited, i recommend starting small so you can fine tune the flavors. the noodles were solid but i found the sauces a little lacking in flavor and the meat got a little tough after being cooked. but for just $18, this place is a great bang for your buck for anyone with a big appetite. don't forget to finish the meal with complimentary ice cream read more

I knew this place, both from the current owner and the former owner, when it was called Colonel Lee's Mongolian Beef. Besides the food being excellent, I like the concept of self serving, so that very little food goes to waste and the self serve concept allows for very reasonable prices for the quality of the food. I do highly recommend this place. James Michael Feinstein, Sunnyvale, California read more

I must say the hubs and I tried the New Mongolian BBQ and really enjoyed it. Staff was helpful and friendly. The cook knows his stuff and did an excellent job. The meats offered today were pork, beef, and chicken. There was no lamb today. The sauces we used were their house specialty and soy sauce. My husband added garlic to his plate. We opted to eat inside as it was just a little bit of chill in the air. They have canned pop for $2 and a pitcher of water is set at the table should you not want a pop/soda. They also have rice to eat and soft serve ice cream. read more

New Mongolian BBQ - Mongolian BBQ meats, veggies and sauces along with one egg roll and a can of Diet Coke - Mongolian Near Me - Mountain View, California

New Mongolian BBQ is a unique dining option on Castro St, featuring Mongolian barbecue in a casual setting. At the buffet line of raw ingredients, you can fill up to two bowls at a time with meats, vegetables, noodles, and sauces, and the ingredients are then grilled on a large round cooktop! The meat selection here included sliced beef, lamb, chicken, and pork; while the vegetables included water chestnuts, baby corn, celery, carrots, tofu, mushrooms, cilantro, zucchini, peppers, bean sprouts, cabbage, onions, and broccoli. Of all the different sauces, I tried the curry (a little overpowering) and the spicy red chili paste, but my favorite was simply the house specialty sauce, which had the right balance of savory flavor with a hint of sweetness. After everything is grilled up, you can top off the mixture with condiments like sesame seeds, and also grab spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce and Chinese mustard as an appetizer. It's all-you-can-eat, so you can go back to the buffet line again and again, and finally, help yourself to dessert: a watery bit refreshing vanilla soft serve in a cake cone. Overall, the quality of ingredients here was decent, and the service was friendly too! read more

I have walked by this place so many times for years and never have I ventured in to try it. One day while out playing Pokemon Go my family and I could not resist the smell of the food that was wafting out onto Castro Street. The price is right under $15/person, but this is all you can eat Mongolian BBQ. So you grab 2 bowls and you fill one with meat (pork, beef, chicken, or lamb) and noodles. In your second bowl, you fill it with whatever vegetables you would like (there's about 15 to choose from) then you add a sauce (about 8 to choose from). With all these options the possible outcomes are enormous. They also have all you can eat eggrolls and ice cream. I would recommend this place. The only suggestion would be adding more vegetable options. If you want decent food, relatively cheap, but a large quantity, go here. read more

New Mongolian BBQ - Recipes for sauces - Mongolian Near Me - Mountain View, California

Seeing the dwindling number of buffets and most recently the scaling back (and even shutdowns) of some other Mongolian BBQs, some friends and I decided to give this place a shot. After all, for $18.99 what could go wrong? I've never come out of a Mongolian BBQ not feeling stuffed. That trend successfully continued on here. However, feeling stuffed isn't necessarily indicative of the best experience! Although the lines moved quickly, certain resources seemed to take some time to be replenished. Of biggest concern was the meat. Yes, they never were empty. However, there were significant periods of time when most of the meat basically looked like raw ground beef! The proper slices weren't there for some people. I lucked out due to a combination of my place in line and when they decided to refill, but some of my friends did not fare so well. Some other notes: - One way to make the dish a bit more low-carb is by using bean sprouts instead of noodles. I picked this one up from another reviewer here; it's seldom mentioned and to date, this is the second review that mentions this! - Watch out for the spicy sauce, because the heat adds up quickly and can slow one down from finishing the meal. - I felt like the finished product was a bit blander than expected...perhaps they were using a bit too much water during cooking. I know some reviews mentioned this in the past and it's possible they still do that. In anticipation of that I put on more sauce than the guidelines suggested, but it still wasn't that flavorful. - The ice cream here is great! They constantly ensure the ice cream machine is ready for serving. Unlike McDs, the machine isn't broken. I and my friends each got a few servings of this after the main BBQ. For me, it's a 3.5 rounded down to a 3. Something to try exactly once! read more
